The Clock-Drawing Test: Time For A Change?, A Chan, Ruth Remington, J Paskavitz, Thomas Shea
The Clock-Drawing Test: Time For A Change?, A Chan, Ruth Remington, J Paskavitz, Thomas Shea
Ruth Remington
Clock-drawing tests are simple and rapid screening devices for dementia. It was observed that individuals (" . . .make the clock read 12:45") or an analog prompt (" . . .quarter to 1"), whereas individuals >70 years of age showed improved performance with an analog prompt. The digital prompt has routinely been used to force participants to recode the prompt via conceptualization. Differential scoring across a range of ages has likely derived from the advent and increase of digital clocks with the younger segment of the population. This implies the need for as-yet undetermined alteration in the nature of prompts …
Hypodermoclysis To Treat Dehydration: A Review Of The Evidence, Ruth Remington, Todd Hultman
Hypodermoclysis To Treat Dehydration: A Review Of The Evidence, Ruth Remington, Todd Hultman
Ruth Remington
Dehydration is a serious acute condition in older adults associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hypodermoclysis (HDC; the infusion of fluids into the subcutaneous tissue) can provide an alternative to intravenous (IV) rehydration of older adults. This article reviews the relevant literature on the use of HDC to treat mild to moderate dehydration in older adults. A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted to identify research reports on the use of HDC to treat dehydration in older adults. Articles published in English during the previous 10 years were reviewed to reflect current standards of practice. One systematic review; two …

Caregiving: Concept Analysis And Outcomes, Elizabeth Swanson, Deborah Schoenfelder, Janet Specht, M. Johnson, Meridean Maas, D. Saylor
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
More than ever before, caregiving has become a salient public policy issue. A number of recent and anticipated demographic, economic and social changes have occurred that make it imperative for researchers to critically examine the impact of caregiving on family caregivers' health, behavior, emotions, and social status. Researchers at the University of Iowa College of Nursing are working to classify standardized nursing-sensitive patient outcomes for use in language development, practice, research, and education to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions and clinical nursing services. This article focuses on family caregiving and the analysis of caregiver role performance in both direct …
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Simply The Best: Teaching Gerontological Nursing Students To Teach Evidence-Based Practice. Creating Tip Sheets Can Help Achieve The Goal Of Implementing Ebp In Clinical Facilities, Deborah Schoenfelder
Deborah P. Schoenfelder
This article describes a teaching strategy used in an undergraduate gerontological nursing clinical course to familiarize students with evidence-based practice. Students are required to read and summarize an assigned evidence-based practice guideline published by The University of Iowa Gerontological Nursing Interventions Research Center. They then develop a "tip sheet," based on the assigned guideline, to disseminate to health care staff at their practicum sites, which is either a long-term care facility or a hospital-based skilled nursing facility. Nursing students' reactions to the assignment and nursing staff's responses to the tip sheets are discussed.

Learning Strategies Of First Year Nursing And Medical Students: A Comparative Study, Yenna Salamonson, Bronwyn Everett, Jane Koch, Ian Wilson, Patricia Davidson
Ian G Wilson
Background: Interprofessional education (IPE), where two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care, has been proposed as a curriculum strategy to promote mutual understanding between professions, thus helping to prepare health professionals to work in challenging contemporary health systems. Although there is support for IPE initiatives within health professional education, differences in student motivation and learning strategies are likely to contribute to the success of these initiatives. Objective: To explore self-regulated learning strategies used by first year medical and nursing students, and to determine if these strategies were different …

An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue
An Examination Of The Sustainable Adoption Of Whole-Person Care (Wpc), Maria Joseph, D. Laughon, Richard Bogue
Maria (Lindell) Joseph
AIM: This study illustrates how King's theory of goal attainment was used to focus an examination of whole-person care (WPC) and to extend the range of knowledge needed for WPC and nursing practice. BACKGROUND: Leadership implemented a faith-based innovation using continuing education for patient care that incorporates body-mind-spirit and eight principles called CREATION. Three questions arose: (1) Is there an evidence-based framework to determine whether the philosophy supports the discipline of nursing? (2) How extensive is the adoption and application of WPC? (3) Does the model make a difference in the context of nurse-patient interactions and outcomes in support of …
An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
An International Methodology To Describe Clinical Nursing Phenomena: A Team Approach, J. Clark, Martha Craft-Rosenberg, Connie Delaney
Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg
The development of a structured and standardized clinical language for nursing is of major importance to the profession for both practice and science. This paper describes a methodological approach which has been developed for the refinement and extension of the NANDA taxonomy in the Nursing Diagnosis Extension and Classification (NDEC) project. The paper proposes that this method could be used by nurses in all countries to facilitate the identification, development and validation of terms and labels which can be incorporated into each country's own emerging data systems, translated and cross mapped between systems, and eventually incorporated into international data sets.

Martha J. Craft-Rosenberg
Although use of diagnoses originally developed by NANDA (now known as NANDA-I), NIC, and NOC in education and practice is increasing, many faculty members have not been educated in their use and may be reluctant to teach these languages. This article provides guidance on the use of NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC in clinical education. This guidance will facilitate both faculty and student learning.

Academic Freedom And Academic Duty To Teach Social Justice: A Perspective And Pedagogy For Public Health Nursing Faculty, N. Fahrenwald, Janette Taylor, S. Kneipp, M. Canales
Academic Freedom And Academic Duty To Teach Social Justice: A Perspective And Pedagogy For Public Health Nursing Faculty, N. Fahrenwald, Janette Taylor, S. Kneipp, M. Canales
Janette Y. Taylor
Public health nursing practice is rooted in the core value of social justice. Nursing faculty whose expertise is in public health are often the content experts responsible for teaching this essential, yet potentially controversial, value. Contemporary threats to academic freedom remind us that the disciplinary autonomy and academic duty to teach social justice may be construed as politically ideological. These threats are of particular concern when faculty members guide students through a scientific exploration of sociopolitical factors that lead to health-related social injustices and encourage students to improve and transform injustices in their professional careers. This article (a) reviews recent …
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Engaging Racial Autoethnography As A Teaching Tool For Womanist Inquiry, Janette Taylor, Melissa Lehan Mackin, A. Oldenburg
Janette Y. Taylor
Racial autobiography, self-narratives on how one learned about the idea of race, has been underutilized as a tool to familiarize and orient students in the process of critical inquiry for nursing research. The aims of this article are to explore how racial autoethnography: (1) repositions students to effect an epistemological change, (2) challenges dominant ideology, and (3) functions as a link between the student and critical theories for use in nursing research. Students engage in and share reflective narrative about a variety of instructional materials used in the course. Reflective narratives are presented in a framework that addresses white racial …

Becoming A Registered Nurse: The Nurse Extern Experience, K. Starr, Virginia Conley
Becoming A Registered Nurse: The Nurse Extern Experience, K. Starr, Virginia Conley
Virginia M. Conley
Little is known about the perceptions of nursing students externing in newly developed hospital-based programs that focus on socialization and transition to the registered nurse (RN) role rather than on institutional recruitment and retention goals. This qualitative study explored student nurse externs' expectations, experiences, and benefits of participation in a student-focused externship program. Externs wanted to gain experience with skills and learn what it was like to be an RN. Goals were met or exceeded by becoming comfortable in the externship role, growing in skill performance and confidence, and becoming members of the healthcare team. The experience fostered growth from …
